Teaching Economics in English

Economics is one of the important driving factors for the development of science – technology, health, education… Recognizing this importance, Economics in English is included in the curriculum of developed countries quite early. This is a subject that should be of special interest because of the application in practice and it brings high job opportunities.

Particularly in Vietnam, this subject is relatively new, only taught in international schools and university level or above. Therefore, learn to teach Economics in English causes many difficulties for teachers and not many teachers teach this subject. Teachers who grasp this trend and have the ability to teach Economics in English will be blessed with huge job opportunities.

How to learn to teach Economics in English?

It can be said that learning to teach Economics in English is not difficult but not easy. On the one hand, it is due to the specialized terms system, on the other hand, it is because teachers are not familiar with the new approach. To teach effectively, teachers need to improve their English to ensure that their teaching is coherent and clear. In the process of teaching, teachers should continually supplement and cultivate specialized terms. Many Economic terms in English when used mean completely different from the usual meaning and this is the difference that teachers need to note.

Teachers should note that this subject is macro and abstract, which makes students easily misunderstand the lecture and lead to depression. Therefore, teachers should have appropriate teaching methods, and should not focus too much on theory lecturing but should combine it with practical examples so that students may visualize and understand better.
